The PlayStation Classic Mini-Console is Arriving December 3rd!

On September 19, Sony announced and revealed the PlayStation Classic, a mini-console that will play 20 pre-loaded PlayStation classic games. The release date is set for December 3, 2018, arriving a little over 24 years after the console was first released in 1994 in Japan (and 1995 elsewhere).

The system — which you can hold in the palm of your hand — comes with two PlayStation controllers that connect via USB to the system and an HDMI out for connection to modern televisions. It also includes a USB power cable, but you’ll have to supply your own power adapter (or use the one from said modern television). While this mini-console won’t have an optical disc drive, the Open button is used to change the “virtual disc” for some titles that were initially multi-disc games. The first five PSOne games of the twenty total to be included were also announced, and they include: Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms. The PlayStation Classic will cost $99.99 when it becomes available on December 3, 2018, and Sony Interactive Entertainment will be sharing further details on the system in the coming months. So, are you ready? Nah! U R NOT E…
